Remove JWTs from text before AI
Redact JWTs and similar tokens from logs and messages before sharing with an AI chat.
What this helps with
- JWTs pasted into tickets or Slack snippets
- Authorization headers that include JWTs
- Preventing replayable tokens from leaking into AI tools
Example
Authorization: Bearer <REDACTED_JWT>
Checklist
- Search for patterns like
eyJ(common JWT prefix) and redact full tokens - Redact refresh tokens and session cookies too
- Remove internal URLs, emails, and IDs that shouldn’t be shared
- Double-check you didn’t leave partial tokens behind
